But regarding Mozilla, I'm interested, but have questions and problems. My version is 0.8 and is full of bugs (or something is wrong). Twice I tried to use it for this but first to delete messages (on Yahoo.com where my mail is). First time, after I selected a bunch of messages and chose delete, it went into an unending search or something. Another try (after closing and reopening KDE) I was unable to select messages from the incoming list, but could open them directly. Is Mozilla new? Why is it's latest version still less than 1.0? Can I upgrade with RPM? Where do I find it? Would an upgrade be likely to make it useable for me, or does it sound as if I have other problems? > ---------------------------------------- > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; > name="message.footer" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit > Content-Description: > ---------------------------------------- > > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > > Go to http://wwww.mandrakestore.com >
